I'm setting a session variable during the login - the user's first name (say, "Pete"). Works fine.
But when the user logs out, my custom variable seems to remain, so although the user is back at index.php (where they can log in), and the CCS session variables have been cleared, you still see "Hi Pete".
How and where should I clear this session variable?

Sorry, just worked it out myself... I found the Logout code in Page_AfterInitialize, and simply set the session variable to an empty string.

If "Pete" is not their user logon name, it's better in my opinion to use
a CCDLookUp() to fetch their first name from the user table based on the
UserID rather than to set a session with the name. That way, when they
log out, the UserID session value should automatically disappear.
Otherwise you'll need to create an event for log out that wipes out the
session value.
I don't currently have CCS available on this system so unfortunately I
cannot provide an example.

Hi Don
Yes indeed... I do set UserID, GroupID etc, and these get removed AOK.
I saved the First Name (using CCDLookup) to the session so that I wouldn't make constant CCDLookup calls to the db, since my "Hi Pete" appears on every page once the user is logged in.
Old habits - keeping db calls to a minimum where possible. 
Cheers

In 'before show' or earlier page event how about
If(!CCGetUserID()){
//reset custom session variables
}
You could place this in your header file for the pages

Thanks Tony, Don!
I hadn't thought about how to handle things if the user doesn't explicitly Log Out. I'll try session_destroy() in the header include page, sounds good to me.
Cheers
